Forbidden Love | (Royal Randwick Race 8 No. 3)
Happy to be with this All Too Hard mare following a brilliant Autumn campaign. Returning after 112 days off, The winner of the Guy Walter, Canterbury Stakes, and George Ryder has had just one trial in preparation for this which was won in a nice style. She has drawn wide here but she will likely follow Prime Candidate across and sit just off the leader’s backs throughout and her first-up record is fair. She started last preparation with a luckless second in the Expressway Stakes, so I am expecting a similar return on Saturday.
Current Price: $3.00

Grace And Harmony | (Royal Randwick Race 5 No.1)
This isn’t the worst bet of the afternoon. She didn’t have the greatest Spring last year, finishing fifth, fourth, and fifth respectively in much harder company than what she faces today. In fact, this is her easiest race since Autumn last year. She has had one nice trial behind Hilal in preparation for this and will begin this preparation with 59kg after the 2kg claim of Tyler Schiller. I think the draw is fine and with the drop back in grade, she is a live each-way bet.
Current Price: $15.00/$4.00

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
